Chapter 970 Adam Otter
“Uncle Adam is in Lilyrose, and he wants to see Kaze?”
Darcy frowned and looked at Kaze in shock
She never got good vibes from her mother’s side of the family.
The Otters disapproved of Agnes‘ marriage to Hector. Hence, both families were in low contact. Darcy had only met her mother’s side of the family a handful of times.
Only when Darcy got together with Kaze, the Otters suddenly wanted to be in the Quints‘ lives.
Following Kaze’s accident and Agnes‘ subsequent firing due to a medical mishap, Caster, the head of the household, forbade Agnes from ever returning home, believing she had brought shame to the family name.
In other words, Agnes was disowned by her family.
The incident haunted Agnes for life.
Both families had cut ties since then.
Only Agatha’s family kept in touch with the Quints secretly.
Darcy recalled that her uncle, Adam Otter, was the head of a healthcare system, and that was all she knew.
“Don’t look at me, babe. I don’t know what’s going on.”
Kaze shook his head at her.
Agnes‘ eyes bulged. “Don’t play dumb there. You must have done something.
“Darcy, Adam said the Sunrise Lees asked him to rush to Lilyrose for someone.
“If Adam didn’t give me the whole story, we wouldn’t have known what Kaze did behind our backs.”
She pointed at Kaze angrily. “After the bastard delivered gifts to the governor, many followed suit. Cosmo of the Lee family was arrested.
“The Lees asked Johnson, the mayor, to release Cosmo. I have no idea what the bastard said to the mayor, but the mayor would only agree to release Cosmo if Kaze said so.
“The Lees put the word out that Kaze had to bring Cosmo back to Sunrise City and formally apologize to the Lee family in three days.
“The three days are up now. The request fell on deaf ears, and Kaze even kept the matter from

“What if the Lees try to get even? We will be doomed.”
Agnes shot an angry look at Kaze and said aggressively, “Are you trying to get us killed, Kaze?”
“Is that true, Kaze?”

Darcy looked at Kaze. She was only getting the story now.
“That’s right.”
Kaze nodded and looked at Agnes, who was waiting for an answer. “You should know my relationship with the Lees, Agnes.
“They want me dead. Am I supposed to hold a knife to my throat?”
Agnes was stumped.
She did not like Kaze, but that did not mean she wanted him dead.
“Cut the crap.”
Agnes rolled her eyes. “Just stop bothering the Lees. Why can’t you just live your life peacefully and stop causing trouble for our family?”
“Just tell Mom that you will do that, Kaze. Stop going after the Lees. We shouldn’t cross paths with them anymore.”
Afraid of another argument, Darcy tried to talk some sense into Kaze.
Kaze smiled wryly. It was not a question of going after the Lees. The Lees would not leave him. alone.
Nevertheless, Darcy was only saying that for his own good. Hence, Kaze promised Agnes not to fight with the Lees.

“Now, that’s the spirit. Take a look at the mirror. Let reality sink in that go up against a wealthy and powerful family like the Lees.”
Agnes took a dig at Kaze before turning to the couple. “Darcy, you should go with Kaze to meet your uncle. If Adam asks for Cosmo’s release, you and Kaze should just say yes.
“He called me earlier and told me that your grandfather is considering lifting the ban and letting me go home.
“Your grandfather favors Adam the most. Don’t make Adam angry, okay?”
